Nearly a year before signing the nation’s most stringent gun control measure into law, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo launched a hotline that allows state residents to report illegal gun owners in exchange for a $500 reward.

How cool – you can ruin your neighbor’s life by simply making an accusation, and maybe collect cash for telling a big enough lie.

Cuomo said the state needs to allow the sale of handguns and rifles with 10-shot magazines, but New Yorkers will still be required to keep no more than seven bullets in them, except at shooting ranges and competitions. Violating the seven-bullet limit is a misdemeanor but a violation if the magazine is in the owner’s home.

No doubt criminals will keep Cuomo’s bullet limits in mind on their way out to commit a crime.
